Only 2.5 weeks to go.

There will also be a swap meet during the show this year, for the first time ever.

As always, there is a memorial cruise and fireworks on Friday night, Aug. 10.

Think I might go since I have a buddy that attends sometimes. Looks like a big show. I know I'd be the only SVT Tour there. LOL!

Two Days Until the Show.
One Day Until the Cruise.

Updated Scheduling Information: I am uncertain of the exact day and time of the Burnout Contest. My brother lives in Coopersville and earlier this week, on the same day, he received updated event information that offers conflicting times for the burnout contest.

The burnout competition has officially been moved from the Arby's parking lot, to Berlin Raceway in Marne.

However, one update letter states that the competition will occur on Friday, after the car cruise, while the other update states that the burnout contest will occur at the previously scheduled time: 4:00 on Saturday. In either case the competition location has been moved, but the date and time is unclear.

There is a clown band concert and fireworks occurring Friday night at Coopersville High School, so moving the burnout contest to Friday may cause scheduling conflicts difficulties with that, however, there are actual racing events occurring during the day on Saturday at Berlin raceway, so ......... Your Guess is as Good as mine.

Additionally, an admission fee has now been imposed on the burnout contest.
$2 to watch
$10 to participate
 
Wow that turned lamers. Pay to watch a burnout? Ummm yea. Anywho I think I might pop in Sat.
 
The last official vehicle registration count I heard was 637 with an estimation of ~900 cars in attendance; they had a break-down in the registration/entry system that resulted in a LOT of unregistered cars in the show.
 
Sounds like no one wanted to pay. I think ppl just like to hang out and now be judged. Saw some really nice stuff. Took a few pics.
